“We had a great dinner. Kids had the steak and unlike many places, they were willing to go as rare as my 8 year old wanted for her child size steak which was nice. Service was also great, excellent timing and attention. …and bit off topic but if the hostess with the curly red hair sees this, I hope you know that your natural runway walk doesn’t need to be ignored.. if you aren’t modeling, you should be! ✨💃🏼“

“I have lived in 7 states in my life and this is one of my the best restaurants I’ve ever been too. Consistently the best Walleye in the world and the ambiance for a fisherman/hunter like myself is top notch. The most underrated restaurant in Saint Louis. If I was on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal I would say “TAKE ME TO YELLOWSTONE CAFE PLEASE”.“

They will not disappoint. Thank you Jade, Jasmin, and staff for making our party a success!“

“A Hidden Gem in St. Louis!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I were visiting for an event when we heard about this spot from some friendly folks at the airport—and wow, what a recommendation! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cozy, cute, and creatively inviting, setting the perfect tone for an amazing experience. THE FOOD? Absolutely incredible. We ordered enough to last the weekend, and let me tell you—those Brisket Burnt Ends & The Brisket Burger somehow tasted even better the next day! The potato skins were delicious too, packed with flavor. What really stood out was that this place isn't just for vegans—it's for anyone who loves great food and stellar service! If we’re ever back in St. Louis, we’re coming straight here without a doubt. Highly recommend! #StLouisEats #FoodieFind #HighlyRecommended #BrisketBurntEnds #VeganOrNotYoullLoveIt“

“5 star food and service!!“

“At the suggestion of my friend Beth, we came here for her Birthday 🎂 I had never been before, but I am always up for new things and trying healthy foods! When pulling into the parking lot, I was greeted by a darling building that was fresh and delightful. Sooo cute 😍 My friend and I, we love to dress like there's a party 🥳 every time we get together, so she was looking adorbs with her wide leg jeans, scarf worn as a belt, a white soft button up, and a black patterned jacket...🤩 and I had a mint green and paisley/floral dress and a hat 👒, because a hat I was born to wear! We each ordered our food, which I had previewed the menu ahead and decided on salmon and Mac n cheese. The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was tender and moist, which is important for salmon! The Mac n cheese was a little dry, but probably because we had a good conversation going and I may have waited too long to get to that. Lol I also had a fruit cup with fresh fruits. I should mention that I had a double chocolate almond brownie, that was tempting me at the ordering counter. 😜 The young lady at the order counter was very kind and helpful, especially since it was my first time. I definitely will be back!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary here, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I called ahead and asked the staff if they could help me surprise my wife for our anniversary dinner. All I told them was, “I’m planning to bring my wife here for our first time to celebrate our 3-year anniversary. Please help me make it a memorable experience for her. She doesn’t know about this.” From that moment on, the staff went above and beyond for us. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. They spent time with me on the phone suggesting ideas and helping plan the entire evening. As soon as we walked through the front doors, we were greeted with warm smiles and escorted to our table. While my wife was admiring the beautiful and cozy atmosphere, the staff gave me the reassuring “we got you” signal, allowing me to sit back, relax, and enjoy the night with her. The evening turned out even better than I expected. Every moment left my wife amazed, and she had a smile on her face the entire night. Thank you to all of the amazing staff members for making our anniversary so special. We officially found our new favorite place for dinner dates. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you again, Annie Gunn's!“

“The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Marquise our server was most knowledgeable and helpful. No one rushed or hurried us. The food was excellent and we were impressed that chef took time at the end of our meal to come by our table and have a conversation. We will surely be back!“

“Super soft bread. Garlic pepper bread is really tasty.“

“waited 15 minutes after being seated while wait staff just ignored us. we finally asked the hostess if we could place our order. a waiter came out finally, no apology for our wait. we placed.our order the he never came back. we waited 15 minutes after ordering and never got our beverages. it wasn't super crowded, only the patio was full. it's a shame because they do have good food but I will not be returning. Do not recommend if you ever want to eat. I have never walked out of a restaurant like that in my 42 years. it was terrible“

“We love this place!!! We frequently visit Hesslers and most recently had our wedding reception there. We always have the best service and friendly staff. Great food, and awesome atmosphere!!“

“First time guests to this restaurant. 2 weeks ago we decided to try it and were extremely pleased!!! Ordered the wings and 3 different salads. The food was great ? and the price was very reasonable! Definitely plan on going back.“

“We had a 6 top on Friday April 17 at 6pm in Royal Oak. Danielle was our server, she was nice, polite and quick. The 1 appetizer for another couple came with their dinner. 4 of the six people got their meals. About 5 mins later our 2 burgers came. Both prepared wrong (order was 1 burger as is on menu, 1 burger with only pickles). Both were sent back. Waitress came over, realized we didn't have our meal, apologized. 5 mins later a manager came over and said our meal would be out soon. As our friends were just about finished with their meals, our burgers finally came, about 15 mins too late. Burgers were fine. Nothing to brag about, I ate half because I had lost my appetite. When the bill came, nothing was comped or reduced in price. My husband paid the bill and I was pretty PO'ed at him that he actually paid it without asking for some sort of discount. The steak ordered by a friend was super salty, and the chicken on the salad was dry. I know they have kinks to work out, but the place and food isn't really much to brag about.“

“My family love's Polly's. Great atmosphere ❤️“

“I had the best Italian shrimp ever! I shared a few with family and all declared it to be the best ever too! And that’s the truth.“

“Party of 5. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My steak had tons of flavor and was cooked exactly medium rare. Service was great and you could feel our waitress cared. Definitely one of the better places I have eaten at in the gravois bluff area. Thank you for a great meal and experience!“

“50th Anniversary for my in-laws. Space was very clean when we went to set up and they had just done another event that morning. Staff was super helpful while we were getting the place ready. Everything was ready when we got there and staff was friendly and even helped us with music and cutting and plating the cake.“

“Friendly staff, quick service, great food“
